The farmhouse restaurant of the dandy young master

Chapter 17

Excited by the shock of seeing and hearing just now, Ma Qing'er, who couldn't find the north, followed Huaxi almost instinctively.His eyes couldn't help showing the light of admiration that he didn't even realize.

He opened his mouth a few times, wanting to say something, but suddenly he was so stupid that he didn't know where to start. Unexpectedly, God gave him a chance to speak, but it was to interrupt Huaxi's decision.

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive. If you have a little money, you start to waste money. The money is not warm in your arms. There is an old craftsman in our village. I'll take you there and make sure you're satisfied."

If Ma Qinger's words were a step late, Huaxi would almost have to take out the banknotes and pay the deposit.He really doesn't have any definition of the market price here, and Yuan himself is a spender who never blinks an eye, and has no concept of money.So when he buys things, he converts them into modern prices for comparison, so if it costs 80 taels to order a snack cart, which is equivalent to 800 yuan in modern times, he still thinks it is quite cheap.

"That's not what you said. The so-called "you get what you pay for." We have many craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship and a short construction period. We can make the snack cart according to the young master's request in less than three days. Besides, our craftsmen are all The apprentice of a craftsman in the palace, how can a farmer in the countryside compare with it." The steward of the handicraft workshop, who was still smiling a moment ago, suddenly changed his face at this moment, seeing that he was about to make a fortune, and the one who was disturbed by that countryman would be ashamed , who is willing to put it aside.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he just saw people ordering menus, and he tricked you, a seemingly deceitful person like you." Seeing that Huaxi didn't speak, Ma Qinger simply took the person by the hand and walked out, so angry that the manager jumped up and down, scolding Ma Qing'er meddled in her own business.

Ma Qing'er gave the steward a blank look, and explained to Hua Xi in a low voice, "I don't know if the craftsmanship is good or not, but his family's reputation is really bad, and many people have suffered from his family. As for the small car you mentioned, There is no need for 80 taels of silver at all, and it is obvious that you are fooling around and asking for a price."

Huaxi rubbed his face. The image of a dandy has probably been deeply ingrained in the capital for many years. Although he was kicked out of the house, no one knew whether he still had any private property. Everyone looked at him well-dressed, so naturally he could be cheated up.

He is good at eating, drinking and playing, but the amount of information needed for life is too little, and he has only a little knowledge of ancient times. He thinks that he may need a life assistant.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ma Qing'er. He is not as delicate as ordinary brothers. Because of his usual work, he has a sense of toughness that is not inferior to men. His complexion is darker, his appearance is more neutral, and his height is smaller I am a little shorter.Generally speaking, this person is available.

Ma Qing'er looked at Huaxi's probing eyes, feeling uncomfortable, and her eyes were a little dodged, "What, what's wrong? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Do you want to make a lot of money?" Hua Xi suddenly slapped Ma Qing'er on the shoulder, making people tremble uncontrollably.

"You, isn't this nonsense?"

"It's enough to have your words, I'm hungry, let's go, let's eat." After finishing speaking, Huaxi took a leisurely pace, as if he had never been to any handicraft workshop before.

Ma Qing'er digested Huaxi's meaning slowly, followed Huaxi into a small restaurant, watched him order two signature dishes and two bowls of rice, and began to chat with the owner of the small restaurant.

At first, the two of them were just gossiping, and Ma Qinger listened to each other while eating, but when he heard Huaxi ask the other party whether the shop was rented or bought, he was a few beats behind and guessed Huaxi real purpose.

A small restaurant that can stand in the capital must have its own characteristics and be able to retain people, otherwise it would have closed down long ago.

After Huaxi inquired about the information he wanted to know, he was also full. Although the taste is not perfect, it is still no problem to fill his stomach.

A person who was evicted from his family and had his ancestral home removed was equivalent to a black householder, so if he wanted to do anything in the capital, he had to get an ID card first, that is, set up his own family.

Huaxi, who didn't want to delay for a moment, found a Ren Yazi with a good reputation and gave him some money to figure out how to get an ID card.

So there is nothing in the world that money can't solve?Huaxi, who now has silver, is completely relieved.So within Ma Qinger's physical strength, he bought some rice grains, oil, miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar and other seasonings, together with ground spices, the seasonings needed for cooking were complete.Finally, they bought some snacks such as melons and fruits and a piece of pork belly, and the two of them boarded the ox cart for the return journey.

At this moment, although he had no further emotional communication with Huaxi, the hostility in his eyes no longer looked at Huaxi, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this person was very pleasing to the eye, because all the herbal medicine sellers were lying in his arms. Silver, in other words, Huaxi gave him all the money without taking it, saying it was his hard-earned money.

Huaxi came back in an ox cart at every turn, and there were baskets full of things on the carts. Anyone who saw it looked at it curiously, and then whispered to each other, guessing what was in that basket .

Those who had a good relationship with Ma Qing'er were encouraged to visit, see what was going on, and tell them when they came back.

After all, a major event happened in the village yesterday, which was caused by Huaxi.

Li Zheng single-handedly overwhelmed all the heroes and violently suppressed all the voices in the village who opposed the change of the village rules. In the end, under Li Zheng's barbaric behavior, every one of them turned into quails, and they dared to compromise without speaking out.Secretly hated Huaxi, the culprit, and the older generation strictly ordered his family members not to associate with him, including Ma Dadong's family.

So even if everyone was too curious about Huaxi, the young master of the city, they all held back and encouraged others to inquire.

No one came to visit, and the Zhang family didn't know that the rule of not being allowed to go up the mountain was broken. It was when Liu went out to buy tofu that they found out about this important event in the village.When I went home and told Mrs. Zhang, after thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang told Mrs. Liu to act as if I didn't know anything, so I don't need to deliberately tell the young master.

Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement. The tofu she bought was soaked in water. When she turned around, she saw that Ma Qing'er was carrying a basket on her back, and she came down from the bullock cart with a large basket in her hands.

She quickly wiped her hands with a cloth towel, and ran over to help Ma Qing'er lighten her burden.

Huaxi paid the fare and came over, pointing to the small pot in the basket, "These are seasonings, put them all in the kitchen. Put this pork belly in the water first, and I'll tell you how to do it when I come back."

Mrs. Liu let out a hey, and carefully carried the meat in the basket into the stove.

Another basket of rice and snacks was placed on the stone table in the yard, and the two left the house again, led by Ma Qinger, to the home of an old craftsman in the village.

It turned out that the old craftsman was crippled, his wife died early, and he had a daughter under his knees, who learned crafts from him since childhood.They came to Kaoshan Village to settle down three or four years ago. In the eyes of the villagers, they were regarded as outsiders.

But the craftsmanship of the old craftsmen is really good, and the price is fair. People in the village will come to the door to make furniture and so on, and the relationship between neighbors is very harmonious.

When the two rushed to the door of the old craftsman's house, the old craftsman's daughter was tidying up the vegetable garden. Seeing that the two were very enthusiastic, they took the initiative to introduce them into the courtyard, serving tea and pouring water after busy work.

"Miss Xia, where is Uncle Xia, we have to make something." Ma Qing'er was embarrassed to make her daughter busy, so she hurriedly spoke.

"My father has gone to cut bamboo, and he won't be back in a while. If you are in a hurry, you can tell me the same." Miss Xia has a popular face, and the only impressive thing is her chin. A mole especially affects the perception, which is why they are still in their boudoir at the age of 20.It is precisely because of this that she can inherit the mantle of her father.

Huaxi didn't want to sit and wait, so he simply described the structure of the snack cart to Miss Xia.

Miss Xia listened carefully, and ran into the house to get a pen, and drew according to Huaxi's description.

Huaxi's expression was normal, but when she saw that Miss Xia described the snack cart he described as a rough sketch, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times in surprise.

"Probably like this, how long will it take to finish?"

"Master Xi, this shelf is not difficult, but it is a bit dangerous to add a stove under the statue. Since it is for getting off the car for food, safety issues must be considered first, so I think if this is changed here, it will not only prevent fire but also protect the environment." Wouldn't it be safer to prevent the wood from deforming?" Miss Xia seriously changed a few lines on the first draft, and did not directly answer Huaxi's question.

Huaxi nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Miss Xia's words are very true, just do as you say, time is not a problem, safety is the most important thing."

Miss Xia smiled and showed her two small canine teeth, and took another look at Huaxi. This person seemed to be different from what was said in the village, and he was quite reasonable.

"Don't worry, we can't smash our own signboard. We will hurry up and try not to delay your business." Miss Xia is a neat person. And accessories, a total of 30 taels.

Compared with the handicraft workshops in the capital, the price is unreasonable.

After ordering the snack cart, Huaxi also thought about it, generously paid the full amount and left Xia's house with Ma Qing'er.

In the next few days, Huaxi stopped, and the behavior of staying at home made people even more curious. They often peeked into other people's yards in the name of passing by. Some people would smell a strange smell when they caught up. The incomparably stinky smell made my stomach churn, and those who reacted strongly vomited on the spot.

This aroused strong dissatisfaction among the villagers, and they all went to Li Zheng's house to complain, and asked Li Zheng to take care of the family.I don't know what they are secretly tinkering with. If it is something outrageous, wouldn't it implicate the whole village.

Li Zheng felt happy, he was still worried that there was no reason to teach that brat a lesson, now it's over.

Li Zheng patted his chest, and answered with an upright, murderous look, leading a group of villagers who were filled with righteous indignation, to Mr. Ma's house.
